I'm currently in secondairy school and my math results dropped hugely. I'm not bad at mathematics, but I'm bad in getting used to new things (like teachers, social situations and so on). People started worrying about my studies, which didn't really help as well. But I feel like I'm slowly getting up again. I also got my second math exam tomorrow, so this really helped me get back in the mood.

I studied civil engineering. But I still don't know what a civil engineer exactly does. They seem to manage construction in construction sites more like a contractor or doing paperwork. In college they didn't taught us how to put a building or and other structures together. They even didn't teach us drawing any kind of structure. And there don't seem to be any book in market that can teach you step by step how to design and build something in the real world. But I end up being good at drawing and design because that's what my tendency was even without realizing it. Even if I didn't know any of my teachers or classmates who are into drawing and design of buildings. My tendency was to stick to the computer all the time and find and learn the softwares used in drawing, drafting, structural analysis and even graphics designing and observing and improvising others designs and use them on my own designs wherever i can to make the design better. Basically its a lots of trial and error and keep on adding knew information, ideas and skills in your arsenal. I won't say I am bad at maths. Somehow I used to get lots of marks in maths in school but I don't think that I understood anything clearly of how to use them in real world. And I was and still am very bad at even addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. But I couldn't score god marks in maths at college and I don't understand calculus at all though I learned to solve the calculus problems and managed to pass the exams. But for me maths was very hard. I never enjoyed maths at all. But to be a professional it doesn't seem like one have to be good at school of college maths. If you know addition, subtraction, multiplication and division you should be able to handle the business and learn whats required in the business. Most of the part in architecture is just observing the structures drawing, modelling and improvising them. But chose what you really like to do. There are many professions to choose from. If you like to talk and write and explore you may consider studying journalism of acting and stuffs like that. Every profession can be daunting if you don't like what you are doing. In every professions you must be one of the best to sell yourself. You need to live it breath it sleep it, whatever....

Your comment is really helpful for someone like myself teetering between Architecture and Engineering. May I ask where did you end up finding your career path in?

+Drew Paul Bell This is probably a lot to ask for I guess, but could u maybe make a video about what a day is like to be an architect. I mean if that's ok with you.

To understand many people not good at math, look up a condition called dyscalula. It's like dyslexica but for math. In my experience, because I had really impatient teachers who refused to consider this as a possibility, I find that we have to work harder and longer, maybe take the same lessons over again many times before we get it. If you are a kid surrounded by the "good" students who get to play and have special treats while you stare hopelessly at your math paper alone because you're the bad student that won't do as you're told, it's depressing. This is your life, this is everyday life. You just begin to zone out. You may doodle, you may daydream, because you give up, you even begin to hate this subject and hardly relate to people that love it. So to be able to relate, think of a time where you yourself could not do something other kids could that you were told you have to do or that you couldn't do things you really wanted like science or architecture all because of this one thing, then apply that feeling to most people who say they can't do math. As for me I will probably watch this video several times before I get it because you're actually interesting and I wanna learn this finally. Was told I can't.

Calculus was not that hard for me in architecture but Physics was especially the topic about bouyancy and thermal expansion. It is important to learn math in architecture so it would be easy for you to do the estimates for your design especially when you chose to create a design with comolicated measurements and irregular forms.

wow, thank you so much for this video. my problem was that my family said that i should use my schoolarship in architecture so that it doesn't go to waste, but also bc i like math and drawing. yup, as simple as that. of course i knew that architecture didn't only consisted on liking math and drawing. so i wanted to inform myself to see what's like and if i could change my mind, the answer: nope. so, yeah, thanks for reassuring myself that i don't want to do it xD props to everyone who actually likes this and good luck with those careers

I have an aptitude for solving problems and personally I feel like that's all you need with math. Those puzzles just get bigger and more complicated. Have not gotten lower than a B+ in my college classes, vs the C/D/F in high school. Turns out I'm just trash at double checking my work. XD. So moral of the story don't limit yourself by saying your bad at math! Identify those individual struggles, practice, and move onto the next.

I really don't have a huge preemptive interest in architecture besides historical buildings, but that's about it. I don't think I'll enjoy it, and considering how hard it's gonna be I feel like I'm going to be stressed out tremendously. There's no going back now, I hope this was the right decision because I'm only seeing things through long term benefits in terms of job opportunities.

+Ayrin Sultana you only need to know basic physics but I'm afraid that's what you're worried about. It really depends on how good of an architect or what type of architect you want to be. You can get into a big firm where the engineering department handles all the structural calculations and you just do details or research or the production of drawings. But obviously if you want to move up or get your license you have to pass the structures section of the ARE (assuming you're in the U.S.) and you will most likely have to take physics in school. If you really want to avoid physics I suggest looking into interior design. They have to do math still to figure out escape distances and clear spaces but they don't do much structure aside from partition walls. But they still do full build outs for retail/office/residential/hospitality/etc. From my understanding Interior Design = Architecture - Structure. A lot of times they manage entire projects (they can also hire structural engineers if necessary).

i have trouble like your friend can you help me or how did he get through

This puts me at ease now I thought I was gonna do enormous amounts of math

Do we need add math in order to study architecture?

This by no means applies to everyone, but I think that people who "like" math have naturally found a way to approach math that is both creative and logical. It is this creative and logical problem solving that is actually very similar to the process of architecture (as you mentioned). And if you enjoy this combination of creative+logical problem solving, you will likely be "good at math" because you will like math (feedback loop). So, I think the statement "I'm not good at math," while not universal, has implications further than just memorizing formulas or some hermetic world of math. If you think about math as - deconstructing a problem, discovering a path to a solution, and then logically moving toward that solution - then you can immediately see that relationship between "being good" at math and architecture. I enjoyed math growing up but could never memorize a single formula. It's only in hindsight, after my architectural education and in the profession for a few years, that I've made the connection I try describing above.

Thank you!

But my problem is that i recently moved into a very nice neighborhood which me and my mother live where we rent a home, each month we barley get by with paying the bills and the rent. NOW the original plan was for me to get a job and pay all the bills while she goes back to school for her teaching license. It will take her six months to obtain this degree so she could get payed more frequently and better wages. That leaves me six months to pay at least 800.00-1000.00$ each month. I've been looking into clerical, and IT work but have no real on the job experience. I'm not really sure what to do so i'm kinda looking for some advice, have you ever experienced any thing like this or am i the only ambitious future architect/designer that hasn't come from a silver spoon?

That's a tough situation man. I assume you want to find a way to pay the bills for you mom without sidelining your dreams. I'm unclear on your school progress. When were you planning to transfer? Does working for six months conflict with your plan? If you are worried about how you are going to pay for college (which i think everybody should be right now) then maybe taking this time to work would be a good thing. But work in the field of architecture or construction. I don't know what city you are living in, but try to apply to all the architectural offices in town as a draftsmen. If you're in a small town where there is no architecture firm, look for places that do remodeling, or surveying, or framing, or roofing, or tile distributers, or stone quarries, or work at home depot. If you learn about buildings by getting your hands dirty, or working for a supplier, or even answering the phone for an architecture firm, you are getting experience that will put you ahead of someone who only goes to school. AND in the mean time you will make some money. But by working in a field that will prepare you for architecture, you are investing in yourself. everybody has zero experience when they start out, you have to get over that and find your way in, one way or another. I worked construction one summer, and it's a primary reason why I landed my job at an award winning firm immediately after graduating. They knew I had more of a handle on how buildings go together than most students. I'm not sure where you live, but I've heard the building industry is booming all over the US. So I bet you could find something. Here's what else you should consider: people who work in an office, work faster in architecture school. If you can start out working in an office, you may develop the ability to balance both school and work throughout your undergrad, and then graduate without crippling debt. At the end of the day, you are probably doing a good thing by supporting your mom like this. But, you have to find a way to move closer to your dreams in this time, or you are going to end up in a dark place. People who sacrifice their dreams for other people end up resenting those other people. Don't put yourself in a situation where you want to feel that way towards your own mom. You owe it to her to follow your dreams. I am missing a lot of details about your situation, but those are just some thoughts off the top of my head... I hope they help man. If you want to share any more details, let me know.

One more thing... it may be cheaper to get a bachelors degree in business or something at a local 4 year college and then go to Austin to get a Masters in architecture. The BArch degree will take 5 years no matter what. So 2 years at community college + 5 for BArch would not be as fast as 4 years business undergrad + 2 years Masters of Architecture.

My plan was to transfer after completing my basics with out completing my associates.I never considered the rout of 4 years business undergrad + 2 years Masters of Architecture but that does sound more affordable and quicker, but i do want the ability to start my own firm if i ever got the balls to pursue that after accomplishing my degree. My question would be if i went that rout of 4years bus+ 2 years masters of arch would that still be possible and would my degree be respected the same with out having a bachelors? And i currently live in Dallas/Aubrey,Tx there's non-stop construction here and a few arch firms if i'm not mistaken!

YES you have to be able to easily do math without struggle, and it should come easy to you! NO!!!!! it's not about the basics of math and taking more time or getting tutoring or a better teacher. It's the fact that most creative people are not good at math, or they might be able to learn if they struggle, but its not something that will be quick for them. OR or they will learn some aspects of math and quickly forget it....in one ear other the other within a couple of months to a year. These are called NATURAL SKILLS and ABILITIES. Its the same way some people cant do basic drawing or come up with something creative if their life depended on it. Drawing is a natural skill, some people can do it without anyone teaching them, and when they are taught basic principals, they soar and become even better. Its the same for every area. There are are MANY ENGINEERING PRINCIPLES and classes shared with CIVIL engineering, for STRUCTURAL DESIGN you have to do heavy duty calculation, and there are specif class on materials and stress testing of materials. If you are bad at high school math and only getting 65, as hard as you try...4 year architecture programs are not for you. To even get into a Architecture program you have to have the minimum of at least 75% in specif math subjects in a low density state or province , then you will have more specific math classes within the general 4 year architecture program. In large cities its even more competitive and higher.

This was, like, a like, super, like cool video. Like.

You have to do maths because architecture is about designing buildings and others the shapes of the buildings geometry but most maths goes on engineering architecture is mostly about art and designing

You could say that real world geometries came first and eventually they invented equations to describe them. There are ways to think geometrically without complex equations especially now that we work primarily on computers. Architecture is still a balance between logical and emotional thinking.

Yeah lol. I've been borrowing the camera from my office lately. I think the camera with the wide angle lens looks way better. The only thing is that the body of the camera doesn't have a monitor that I can see when I'm standing in front of it lol. So I don't see that the wall was in focus instead of me until I'm done shooting it lol. But I think it is still higher quality than my other camera and still worth the inconvenience until I get a better solution

I like Minecraft but fail at Math completely. It is a fact, I suck. But my builds look decent and very symetrical, like if I build with a mirror mode, but there is none of course. And I am fairly interested in Architecture. My only bother is, that Architects cannot change the World that much. Like making our Energy all green without fossil fuels, stop deforestation etc. It does not have the power to make necessary changes.

They say that 40% of the energy in the US is used to power buildings. The reason they cut down trees is to build buildings. I think architects are some of the only people who can significantly change the world in that way. That’s why Elon Musk invented those solar powered roof tiles because he knows how much energy we use to cool our buildings because they were designed as McMansions and big box retail stores instead of designing appropriately for local climates. And the other major chunk of energy is spent on transportation, which would be way more efficient if we didn’t live in suburbs where every house is an island on a sea of grass, you have to get in your car and drive to get anywhere, and they just dump water on the front yard to have the greenest grass that doesn’t naturally grow in that ecosystem.

Calculus is the most f ‘ed up thing on the existence

Hell yeah im good with geometry but suck ass in algebra

Yes, of course, architecture IS mostly Maths, always has been and always will be. Those who fail to understand that aesthetics, construction and human perception, like most aspects of life, are fundamentally Mathematical.

no

No math for arcthitects .

everybody use algebra if they want to use, even journalists, actors and cooks. But you need algebra, calculus and stuffs like that to prove something theoretically. You should be good with just addition, subtraction, multiplication and division if you want to be a professional in almost every field unless you want to be a teacher or lecturer.
